7.1 Extending Server Memory Task Map

Table 7.1 describes the steps for extending the Oracle Private Cloud Appliance at your site by installing additional RAM to upgrade the compute nodes.

Table 7.1 Steps for Extending Oracle Private Cloud Appliance By Installing Additional Memory

Step	Description	Links
1	Review safety guidelines and site checklists.	Section 6.2, “Review Safety Guidelines”
2	Identify the servers to upgrade. Depending on the base memory configuration and the desired amount of RAM, select the memory kit to install.	Section 7.2, “Selecting a Server Memory Kit”
3	Install the memory upgrade kit. This involves migrating running virtual machines to avoid service interruptions, and powering down the compute node.	Section 7.3, “Installing the Memory Upgrade Kit”
4	When the upgraded compute nodes are back online, verify in Oracle VM Manager that the amount of RAM is correct. When the compute node reboots after a memory upgrade, `dom0` memory settings are adjusted automatically to the new total amount of RAM. The settings are persistent across future (re-)provisioning and controller software updates.	No manual reconfiguration required.
